2.Santiago: Cajon del Maipo Termas Colina Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 160 reviews · 10 hours · from $66Best value

Leave Santiago early for the Andes, follow the Cajón del Maipo gorge, and relax in seven Termas Colina pools heated by volcanic water. Guides such as Max and Gonzalo explain local stories in Spanish or Portuguese. Seasonal stops include the Tinoco Tunnel and a light picnic with wine.

“Carlos was great! I only spoke a little spanish, but was able to keep up using google translate.

“This experience has long been on my bucket list and I would have gladly paid double for the experience. Let me be the first one to say that the early snow did crank up the expertise level of the hike for us novices but Andres’ wealth of knowledge not only about the geography but the animals and the history of the area navigated us seamlessly through the path.
